Member Benefits
Beyond Reflections offers support to trans, non-binary and gender questioning (TNQ) adults and their significant others. The majority of our support is currently online, with some support offered face to face.
We offer the following types of support to the majority* of our Members:
Social groups – online and face to face casual drop-in groups for all current trans, non-binary and questioning Members.
Long term support groups – online group to discuss all aspects of transition in a facilitated space with peers.
1-1 counselling
Significant Other (SO) support – for partners, family members and friends based on need
*Should Beyond Reflections undertake a risk assessment for those applicants deemed as being ‘high need’, they will be assessed on a case-by-case basis to determine what, if any, support we are able to offer.
We reserve the right to refuse Membership to any applicant who we deem ineligible.
Membership subscriptions
We ask each member to pay a subscription – our name for our membership fees, to help cover the costs of regular meetings and running our charity.
Standard Membership - £15 per month
Student Membership - £10 per month (only approved upon providing a student ID card from a university or college, and until the expiry date of the card)
Low-cost Membership £5 per month (approved on a case by case basis once the member has filled in a hardship fund application and provided the relevant evidence)
On occasion, we offer short term fully waived fees to those in need. This can also be applied for through the hardship fund application process. We have made the hardship fund application process as simple and accessible as possible by creating a form that is largely drop down menus. We aim to get back to every application within 2-4 weeks of receipt.

Non-payment of subscriptions
If a Member is unable to pay, they should contact [email protected] to discuss the options available.
Beyond Reflections reserves the right to remove from support any Member who does not commit to regular attendance at their allocated support and/or who does not pay their subscriptions without an adequate reason.
A member of the Office Team will contact the Member before any support is removed.

Privacy
Beyond Reflections will not share any contact or personal information about the Member with other Members, non-Members or any third parties without explicit written permission. The exception to this is if there is reason to believe that a Member is in crisis and likely to cause serious harm to self or others, in which case emergency services and/or next of kin may be contacted. Where possible, this will first be discussed with the Member.
